But they aren't functions, so I don't see why you want describe-function
to report on them, or indeed how that would work.

With this and 25462, it seems to me that what you want is a
(context-sensitive?) type of help that does not exist yet, which would
report on special syntax used within macros and such.

(Both , and ,@ are indexed in the elisp manual, BTW.)
